No shrinking violet, this Rose from Oregon's Willamette Valley this beautiful Pinot Rose that bursts with tart berries, hints of brioche and vanilla. Crafted from 80% Pinot Noir, and the remainder Chardonnay and Gewürztraminer, this wine offers complexity, fantastic aromatics and the kind of minerality that winemaker Tony Soter and Oregon have grown famous for. And outstanding match with anything from antipasti to pasta and lean red meats, this wine is also a tremendous value at its price point.
One of first Oregon producers IWM began watching, Tony Soter, the iconic California vintner behind the highly regarded Etude label, and the former consulting winemaker to the estates of Stag's Leap, Dalla Valle, and Araujo, left Napa and Cabernet for Pinot Noir and the Willamette Valley. Since, he has made an impact on the region, producing some of the region's finest Pinot and some of the most interesting Rose and Sparkling wine in the country. Working with James Cahill, Soter created his affordable, easy-drinking Planet Oregon Pinot Noir as a reflection of the region's terroir. 95% of its Pinot Noir grapes derive from the Willamette Valley (Yamhill-Carlton, Dundee Hills, Eola-Amity Hills, Ribbon Ridge) with the remainder from the Rogue Valley; however, all grapes are certified organic, and the wine is made in a sustainable facility.
